I use my Kitchen Aid mixer all the time and love the sculptural quality of it sitting on the counter, but for those who don't have the counter space, consider a pop-up cabinet. Those stand mixers are heavy!

I always hated all the wasted space under stairs.especially like the open shelves & the bed (great for a guest "room" spot under stairs in a finished basement) & the.well guess I really like them all! Wish I had stairs!
